So here I sit after blowing snow for two hours and then having a friggin root canal. But there is a good side.........in the dentists office was a brand new Motor Trend with the ZR1 one the front. So now I can sit back read a fresh Motor Trend and the specs of the new ZR and nod off to dreaming about driving my C-5 on a nice summer day. Ah yes, life can be good, even if it is a dream.

Yep. Life is G D!

And it always helps to have something (like our 'Vettes) to get us through those tough times.

Wish my driveway was clear after the snow we got last night. Oh well, something to do this evening when I get home. Your dream should be you are driving the ZR1 on a nice summer day.
